Directly from America | 来自美国

点击查看中英对照

Not long after returning to China from visiting her daughter in the United States, an elderly Chinese woman went to a city bank to deposit the US dollars her daughter had given her. At the counter, the clerk meticulously examined each banknote for authenticity. This process tried the old lady's patience.

Finally, she could contain herself no longer and uttered, "Trust me, Sir, and trust the money. They are real US dollars. They are directly from America."
